TRUTH about the Ku Klux Klan - KKK - Forgotten History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The Ku Klux Klan or KKK is deeply rooted in the post Civil War history of the United States. They are three of the most familiar words and letters in almost any language, synonymous with hatred, intimidation and murder. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton.

It's not forgotten. It's just swept underneath the rug. When people try and bring it up, they are shut down
Or they bring up the party switch, convenient no? One day the robbers became the police and the police became the robbers, yeah that makes sense 🤦♀️
Suppressed
@@ydelysuarez2548it actually makes perfect sense. Congress and the senate are full of crooks. There’s no way you can’t know this🫵😆🇺🇸
Same shit
It's beyond me how full grown men are acting like old women in a knitting Circle these days, the same ones that question another person's gender, when in reality they're the ones with the vagina. Conservatism is going to be a thing of the past because of stupidity!
You should subtitle this episode “Suppressed History”. Democrats hate it when you remind people why the Republican Party was formed! Well done!
Imagine being this ignorant about the truth. If Democrats are the racist ones now, then why are all the most racist states run by Republicans?
Great comment! Keep it up. Hv seen some stories abt the Klan interfering with some bootleggers during prohibition. The bootleggers opened up on the good-old boys with their Thompsons and the Klan never tried 2 interfer again.
I read this BS before, I don't like Americans anyway .. but it doesn't make the Dems a bad party today because some f** 150 years ago, one or two democrats were white supremacists .
the republicans are today's bigots
Not all democrats, just those who don’t know their history too well 😅
@@Wear21absolutely correct 😅
When I was eight or nine I saw a story of the KKK on the news. Their costumes scared the life out of me. Lost sleep and had nightmares when, after days of being scared I talked to my mother in the kitchen.
My mother, who grew up in Mississippi in the 50's and 60's sat me down and said, "There's nothing to be scared of, they're not after you."
Then she went on to explain who they hate and who they're after, so to speak. She then explained that my fear towards them was great to have as a white kid in America. She said to take that fear and disrespect towards them and pass on love and peace to everyone around you, no matter their background.
All in all it was honestly a great learning experience for me that has only grew into who I am now.
Peace and love will always beat fear and hatred. Nuff said.
Call up the relatives in the north and tell them to talk white power out the window you don't even have to get into a fight
Bro I have never relates to a comment how I related to this
Sorry hatred will always prevail
Look at US, Europe and the rest of the west today. Were they wrong?
Heritage, not hate.
Truly a part of history that has been forgotten. As the saying goes those who forget their history are bound to repeat it.
Agreed. Thanks for the post.
True enough thanks
Then there are those who learn enough from history to deliberately resurrect the worst parts of it for their own cynical, tendentious, nefarious and ideological aims.
And those that remember history are doomed to watch others repeat it
@@etsequentia6765 Well Said!
This episode should be aired on national TV.
Thanks for watching
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL thank you for speaking the truth. 👍🏻
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL In the 70s, Public TV was telling the truth about FDR refusing to save any Jews. No more. One of my teachers was a Holocaust survivor. One grew up under Nazism. One as at the Battle of the Bulge. One was a Bataan Death March survivor. My late father fought the Japanese. My uncles fought the Germans. You try to tell young Americans of the sickening medical experiments the Germans inflicted on Jews, and they call you nuts. They go crazy when you try to tell them the truth about FDR being a Jew-hating racist. The Japanese also inflicted horrible medical experiments on people. They tied men and women to posts and cut their breast and sex organs off. There was a camera there. It was recorded. They also used men for bayonet practice. We have a Socialist Democrat president now who said allowing blacks in white schools would turn them into racial jungles.
The Democrat party would never allow that to happen. They still use some of the same tactics but have added new ones to hide their old established #KKK group they turned in their White Klan Robes and exchanged them for All Black who are now called #Antifa. They utilize black people by conditioning them to think they are on their side to do their bidding. They are masters of manipulation. They go about their plans not by short moves but playing a long game so as not to draw attention to their intentions.
The media is "woke" and liberal to the hilt. They wouldn't want this truth out as it might influence voters to learn something and vote Republican.
Joe Biden did the eulogy for Robert Byrd …..
yes
Byrd was the mentor of Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. He was a Grand Wizard of the KKK.
Uh there's a guy who likes uhhhh I mean he uhhh well this is America man.
Joe biden
Byrd denounced the Klan long before he became friends with Joe Biden. But why ruin your good time with facts. 🙄
Byrd also was a heavy campaign donor to Biden in his early years as a senator. Biden initially ran on trying to prevent desegregation because it would turn America into “a racial jungle.”
Another great peace of history. Thanks Colin and your forgotten history team. Keep them coming
its "piece", not peace. Go back to school. Take 5th grade English and junior high history.
@@justinsibley3389 Thanks for that, sorry i'm not educated enough for you, just wondering if you are naturally hateful or do you work hard at it?
just curious
Not Great - Because it's not only inaccurate, but it doesn't tell the whole story of why the southern states started identifying themselves as Democrats. I suggest you do a little digging on your own, and discover the "real" real story.
Very good job Colin and team.( To be able to play this during prime time tv..lol) no wonder history isn't being taught. But we can share this out and just did..all the best Forgotten History 🇺🇸🎗
Thank you kindly
History is being white washed by Maggots, sooooo. That's your problem
this youtube channel is providing a valuable public service
Many decades ago, when I was young, my Grandfather, who grew up in Stone County Arkansas told me a story about one night when he was a young boy. He told me that on that night his brother and he saw a bunch of men on horses wearing white sheets riding past the farm where he lived and on down the road. Being boys and naturally inquisitive they followed the group of horsemen and arrived at a neighbor's house. The men in sheets got off their horses, broke into the house and drug out a white man who they tied to a tree and horsewhipped. The group told that white man that if he hurt his children again they would come back again. The white father had beaten his children so bad that he broke his son's arm. The group in white sheets untied the whipped man and left. The father never beat the kids again.
What Grandad always thought was funny is that those men in white sheets to hide their identity rode horses and everyone knew who owned which horse.
Not every single person in the Clan was totally evil but today they have been re-defined that way.
True, some Klan sects were not really as focused upon the racial component, but those that were created a legendary name for themselves, which was why their recruitment numbers dropped until the 1920s. Thanks for watching.
Very true. Even Hitler was known to be pro-animal rights. It shows the complexity of a person. How one can be so loving/caring towards something, but so vile towards something, with nothing else to show, but hate/ignorance towards a subject.
I live in Boone County just 50 miles away from Stone County and my small town Harrison Arkansas has Demoncrats Party's KKKLAN Klu Klux klan white Supremacists killing innocent Arkansas blacks people and kids and babies for years in 1866 and killing innocent Republican white people and kids and babies for years and my 200 years old families members are North Republican Party soldiers during the Civil War 1 and and came from Kentucky and Kansas and Texas and overseas countries England and Britain and I'm related to Daniel Boone daughter. And my family members are still white Arkansas and Missouri and Kansas and Texas and Oregon and Washington State Baptist Church preachers and Sunday Schools teachers and farm animals raising and vegetables and fruits garden growers and we Republican Party people have voted out Demoncratic Party's KKKLAN White Supremacists Neo-Nazis to live in Zinc town Arkansas 8 miles away from my mom's house to the east side near Bull Shoals Lake between South Lead Hill small city still in Boone County. Harrison Arkansas have few Arkansas black family members coming back to Harrison Arkansas in 1990s and we haven't had any trouble with racist bigotry Demoncratic Party's KKKLAN Ku Klux klan white Supremacists Neo-Nazis Marxist Protesters and trying to become a Demoncratic Party mayors in my small town and nope NO WAY THAt GONNA HAPPEN ‼️🇺🇸
The Birth of a Nation was considered the first real full-length movie, and for many years was shown in filmography classes, as it used techniques and styles of filming ad scripting that are used even today. The Klan, up to the 1980's, still showed the film to recruit new members. The second incarnation of the Klan was rabidly anti-immigrant and as such anti- Catholic. My mother was a child in Indiana when the Klan had its massive rallies, and living in a German speaking Catholic community, lived in fear of them. Townsfolk would camp outside the cemetery, as there were threats that graves would be despoiled. The New York Klanbake, 1924, is infamous for the young FDR pushing for Alfred E. Smith for the Democrat candidate for President. The KKK opposed him, as he was Catholic. The Democrat leadership caved under the threat of losing all the Southern states in the election. Supposedly, as the Democrat leaders left the meeting, D.C. Stevens told them; "This time we're telling who you aren't running. Next time we'll be telling you who you are running."
Wow, thanks for the story.
At that time the Catholic church was comparing Bible study groups to communist
@george b - any evidence or sources ?
I'm not American and not very well versed with the American history. I would say I'm a liberal and progressive. Aren't democrats now against racism, for immigration and so on? How was it the exact opposite a few decades ago?
@@jb-vb8un No.
I never knew the Klan's history in such detail, thank you.
Thanks for watching.
There is a concerted effort to keep this information from people.
@@silentvoiceinthedark5665 Especially the part about they were Democrats!
@@katiedrew4708 you should watch Dinesh D'Souza's documentary. Not one republican owned a slave
@@katiedrew4708 it’s literally AMAZING how many people don’t know that 🤦🏻♂️ Or believe “Oh, well the parties simply switched sides (as in ALL policies & beliefs) as an attempted cop out! Just try to even BEGIN to imagine the Liberals & Conservatives just suddenly taking up ALL of the other’s policies and dropping their own, like starting tomorrow 🤔 Yeah, O-fuqing-kay, that has and/or could happen 🤣
Glad you mentioned that in earlier Klan activities they were not anti semetic. I had recently found out one of the leaders of the Klan in the town my parents grew up in was from a very prominent Jewish family.
Thanks for watching.
They like to play both sides
Being Jewish and a klan was common if you had $$$$
@@georgeboehringer5530 Yes, that's their relevant Plan and Always has been. Any Loss for them is a Win nonetheless, it IS their Win-Win, "'They"' are afterall the "Nation Destroyers' who are adamant to make this Nation they're Own and more precisely the Whole World their own because "They" Are the Actual Supremacist's that tricked the people of England, France AND America to Destroy Western Civilization's Best chance of carrying on for the sake and safety of Our Race and American Way of Life which was the Best Humanity had devised till WW 2 ended that and has since incrementally, piece by piece Destroyed the America, the Greatest Self-Governing System ever brought about by the minds of Great Non-Racist Men who Hated Slavery but could do Nothing to change it in their day without being Hanged by the rest of the British Loyalist's and Colonialists but expected Time itself following Our Blessed Constitution would eventually resolve the issue.
And it seemingly was in 1965 but only used as a Stepping Stone to the Advantage of the other group who marched with them but for their Total Benefit Only while pushing the Blacks faces Deeper into the Mud and Destroying their chance to be Self-Sufficient with handouts that Only kept them at the lower End of the ladder and is still working that way as They planned it today with Generational Welfare that would depress and Insult Any Proud Man and Woman of means because That's All it did.
But now knowing that Many Black Americans now realize this, they, the "Democrat Party," are flooding America with Non-American foreigners with the same Freebies that turned Blacks from Republicans from Lincoln's day into the Masonic Socialist Party of the Democrats of FDR's day into the Marxist Democrats of LBJ's tenure as President of these once United States and Lyndon B. Johnson was the Worst and Most Treasonous, Power Mad Traitor who absolutely Destroyed this Country in Many ways but None more than the "Immigration Act of 1965" which has Ruined America and is now today a Open Border Disaster that America Will NEVER be able to recover from short of direct Military action but "Our Military" is now No Longer Ours but is In Control of the Traitors whose people marched for Civil Rights in the 1960's and advanced for themselves Never looking back nor desiring to see the same benefits for Black Americans they got for themselves and that's ALL that mattered to Them from the start. Blacks were Used and when the battle was won went along their Own Merry way leaving Black Americans in the dust behind them.
The Truth Hurts most times and this was/Is one of those times.
I'm not surprised. Some of the Saudi Arabian muslim oil mogels are jew converted to Islam generations back.
I had a history professor in college who did a lot of research on the klan. He said the iteration of the klan that started in the nineteen teens had anti-Catholicism as the primary focus of their activities during that time as they really didn’t to focus on blacks because they were already suppressed by the previous klans.
Thanks for watching.
Did you also have an English professor?
Ooooop . The second wave of klan emerged because of the film Birth of a Nation and anti black film
@@djquinn11 Yes lots of them. Pointing out bad proofreading on the internet is the activity of useless douche bags.
@@UnfilteredAmerica Where did I say that they weren’t anti black? How blacks were treated just continued as it was. The reason the Klan became widespread at that time was because of the influx of Roman Catholic immigrants in the early 20th Century. They didn’t have to spend much time on propagandizing on the race issue because a large proportion of the people already agreed with them on the issue of segregation and racial discrimination. The Progressives did a good job of convincing people that the old Southern Democrat race ideology had a scientific basis.
I believe the reason you see white Americans begin to repent of this abhorrent ideology after WWII is because they saw where racial supremacy beliefs can lead to in Germany and Japan. People began to see the injustice and massive hypocrisy that was occurring in their own communities.
And Byrd was Bidens mentor. Biden thought of him like a father.
Thanks for watching.
I think more time should have been devoted to the immediate post-war conditions and the stated need for the creation of the klan. Certainly not to justify it, but to put it into full context. There were many paramilitary groups carrying on anti-federal activities.
Agreed, but we were focused on this subject alone, and thanks for watching.
Lets not forget another war, WW2, another Democrat (are you really surprised) President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 creating the Japanese internment camps, voiding the constitutional rights of Japanese citizens.
Still believe their mythical history swap with the right, and that they are the "party of civil rights" as they claim?
Yup, here in Texas we had a lot of "night riders".
@mailman - Those paramilitary "groups" were nothing more than low-life terrorist gangs.
Yes,there were paramilitary groups carrying on anti-federal activities,but,the army handled those issues.The klan also suppressed the black vote,by lynchings,murders,raping black women,burning their homes,churches,tarring & feathering,etc,etc,..they were-EVIL.Killing countless black citizens,because most of these murders were never reported.
Sound much like the "Brown Shirts" in 1930's Germany.
Indeed and now there is that filth called MAGA.
ANTIFA?
@@endokrin7897yup. Same
ANTIFA and BLM. The Brown Shirts of the Democrat party.
@@endokrin7897 Anti...what? Anti Fascism.
Well done as always sir. Thanks for adding the piece about Jim Crow Joe as he’s said plenty over the years that black people were “forgetful of. The irony of him being almost out of the nomination until a strong black vote in southern Carolina was irony worthy of Greek tragedy. Again nice informative unbiased video👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks for watching.
DEMOKLANZ are the MARGARET SANGER PARTY OF ABORTION
Jim Crow was practiced by people in the south Of both parties
@Perry Mathis, no one has forgotten JB or HRC - but if we're honest you know full stop that he's done nothing half as bad as we've seen done in the last 100 years. JB didn't write the Jim Crow laws - and Robert Byrd was and is a hypocrite and a disgrace. Anyone who propagate hate and violence is wrong - anyone who lynches someone because they don't like one's pigmentation is wrong - and nothing, and I do mean nothing can make it right.
You forgot that the first film screened in Wilson's White House was Birth of a Nation.
Great video, and your narration is really improving, practice makes perfect!
Thanks for watching
Getting better audio equipment helped I guess
This has to be taught in schools.
Yea almost all Dems, just like today

It's not forgotten lol. People still talk about the klan as if they're relevant today.
@@mjanny6330 When I say forgotten, I'm referring to how the Democrat party seems to escape the guilt of the KKK's inception. Especially in our school's history books.
There is quite a bit of intentionally forgotten history. You realize that once you grow up and if you want to continue to learn. It's very shocking at first.
I don’t know if it’s been forgotten. More like it’s purposely and conveniently covered up for reasons a certain political party would rather you not know about
No, you can’t cover a thing like that up.
Excellent content! Thank you for this piece of history!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been telling these historical facts for decades... nice to see a real Historian back me up, as my black & democrat friends will not listen to truth.
Thank you kindly
Can't forget the southern strategy utilized by the republican party. They have apologized several times for implementing
😂😂 of course.. Southern strategy
Thank you for this presentation today was t was very informative

Glad it was helpful!

This should be taught in all high schools and universities in the USA.
Teach history in schools,,, only if its pro Marxism
It is bo' zo.
Thank you for this video. I know of the Klan presence in Southern California, Mississippi and Alabama. There are areas you don't venture into, no matter what your skin color, religion or politics. They are not to be messed with - not if you value your life.
Thanks for watching
No matter your skin color or religion 👀
If you're a white Christian the klan would probably offer you a beer what are you talking about
I grew up in Alabama and know the kind of place you're talking about. The county south of me didn't like any outsiders. I've been pulled over multiple times for "whatchu doin this far south on a Friday night, boy? ........ I'm white.
I’ve never seen anywhere like that, and I’ve lived in Alabama for all my 39 years 🤷🏻♂️ Worked all over the Southeast as a service tech too. Plenty of black neighborhoods that your average citizen (of any race) doesn’t choose to go into voluntarily, especially at night 😳 With that said, you probably shouldn’t be in ANY neighborhood in the middle of the night that you don’t live in unless driving straight to/from a home you’re visiting! Then again, the average citizen isn’t out in a neighborhood in the middle of the night unless they’re up to no good and deserving of said scrutiny anyway👌🏼
@@jelly7310 Still not the same experience. You can be pulled over 999, you have a built in pass, whether you acknowledge it or not! Just be thankful!

It was forgotten on purpose. The creator of this channel has an agenda. And it isn't just giving history. It's a strategy to make racism seem political. David Duke is Republican. Like a lot of KKK members.

One thing that is always left out. If any man (especially) a white man example left his family without to go drink, gamble lude women etc. Got e warning after they'd tear they're butts up and maybe in extreme on the bad guy maybe even hanging. They made sure the family was looked after.

1924 Klanbake
1924 Democratic Convention.
At the 1924 Democratic National Convention, the big fight was over a resolution denouncing the Klan; party elder statesman and three-time presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan, spoke for two hours in opposition to the plank condemning the Klan by name. After furious debate, the resolution failed by a vote of 542.85 in favor to 546.15 opposed. The soaring temperatures gave the convention the name, the Klanbake. At its peak in the mid-1920s, the KKK claimed to include about 15% of the nation's eligible voters, approximately 4-5 million people. The Klan split within the Democratic party over cultural issues, especially Prohibition, which facilitated Republican landslides in 1920, 1924 and 1928. A series of scandals rocked the KKK's reputation and the group somewhat faded after the 1924 Democratic National Convention.
The Klan also tried to exert itself over the 1924 Republican presidential nominating convention which the party avoided by not addressing them at all even though the NAACP had asked Calvin Coolidge to disavow them after the hostile takeover of the local Indiana organ by the Ku Klux Klan. His hesitance to do so is the reason that the organization officially severed ties with the Republican Party and paved the way for their alignment with the Democratic Party in the following decade. While Klansmen in the South were generally Democrats, those in the North tended to be Republicans because they were identified with old-stock Protestant Americans and the Democrats were associated with ethnoreligious minority groups immigrating to the country en masse around that time like Catholics and Jews from Southern and Eastern Europe in particular. This is not to pin the blame for bigotry solely on the Republicans or anything, but simply to instead illustrate the considerable amount of nuance to this discussion which usually goes ignored.
@@johnweber4577 have to call ZERO EVIDENCE on Klan / Republican claim - -= - Calvin Coolidge: Calvin Coolidge succeeded Warren G. Harding as president, and he was also claimed by many KKK sources as a member. Even today, Coolidge is reported to have been a lifelong member by multiple websites we aren’t linking to here. This claim stretches credulity, however. Coolidge not only snubbed the KKK’s invitation to address its Washington rally, a short time later he spoke on religious tolerance to a large group of Catholics in Washington. He also replied to an angry protest from a Klansman over a black Congressional candidate with a letter that included, among other things, this passage:
During the war 500,000 colored men and boys were called up under the draft, not one of whom sought to evade it. They took their places wherever assigned in defense of the nation of which they are just as truly citizens as are any others. The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however it might be received in some other quarters, could not possibly be permitted by one who feels a responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican Party.
Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color, I have taken my oath to support that Constitution. It is the source of your rights and my rights. I propose to regard it, and administer it, as the source of the rights of all the people, whatever their belief or race. A colored man is precisely as much entitled to submit his candidacy in a party primary, as is any other citizen. The decision must be made by the constituents to whom he offers himself, and by nobody else. < > ATI
I really appreciate your work,always well researched and interesting. Can you perhaps do a video on why black people went from Republicans over to the Democrats? I read that it had something to do with how Hoover treated black veterans (like around the Hooverville massacre in DC).I don't know if this is true but it is interesting why black people stick to the Dems especially in the face of people like Biden,who has a long history of questionable comments about blacks. Thank you for making such great content and God bless.
Blacks shifted to democrats primarily because the Great Society created by Lyndon Johnson, the welfare act and other taxpayer funded socialist programs, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Democrat LBJ did not care about blacks at all, but he knew that he needed to get the votes. BTW, all those congressional bills he signed into law? They were supported by Republicans. Democrats voted no. Thanks for watching
Use conservatives or liberals next time. Parties are just funding sources and are not consistently tied to one political spectrum or the other.
@@Dano_EightyEightI think he’s just being disingenuous

I wonder if its possible to get the number of and names of members of congress who were members of the klan during the 1920s and 30s?
That would take some digging, but maybe.
That would be difficult
The original organization was for self-defense against the excesses of the Union Leagues, which encouraged freed slaves to burn the barns of former Confederates so they couldn't work their farms and pay their taxes, which mean their property could be seized and sold to carpetbaggers and scallywags. When Southerners asked the occupying Union troops to stop these outrages and the federals refused, the Southerners banded together to ride the roads at night and catch barn burners (burning a barn, where a farmer's working animals, tools and seeds were kept, was a capital offense then) and hang them. Eric Foner's history of Reconstruction is full of PC BS, a book I revile and a man I think isn't a real historian but a political hack. Read Robert Selph Henry's account of Reconstruction for a more truthful account.
Thanks for watching.
DemocRATs haven't strayed from their objective.
Indeed.
The two parties haven't started from the objective.
The KKK even spread into Canada in the 1920s where it avowed to maintain the 'Britishness' of Canada being racist, anti-Semitic, and anti Roman Catholic. It had branches in Toronto and even spread to the province of Saskatchewan. Though, as soon as a few violent acts were attributed to it, the majority of the membership faded away.

The Birth of a Nation was the first film shown in the White House. That should have told us everything we need to know about Woodrow Wilson.
That he had the same views on race as the vast majority of White Americans at the time?

@@fyrdman2185and let me guess, that makes it okay? Please.
@@CultureTalk222 I'm saying if you want to criticize Wilson, there are lots of other things to criticize. Holding views that was the norm at the time is not it. But that logic even the Founding Fathers was as bad if not more than Wilson because they had views that even Wilson would think too extreme.
I have always laughed at notion that people actually thought that Hilary is for African Americans and other minorities when her actions are anything but. Don't listen to what any politician says. Just look at what they actually do.

As a English man, I never get why people call your republican party the racist and democratic party the party for ethnic minorities. We were taught all this in school back in the 80s and 90s.
Yeah i was always taught it was the Democrats that were initially the racist party. It's glaringly obvious when you look at it, So many Americans have been 'hoodwinked' it would seem.
Because the party labels are irrelevant in this case.
The KKK was started by white southern Christian conservatives... These are the people that now support Republicans so yes they were called Democrats but they were southern white Christian conservatives.

The old Democrat party is the modern Republican one (minus the overt violence). Also, one could turn it back around and ask "How can anyone claim to be a Republican given the disgusting present?". The various white supremacist groups were not exactly backing Biden. The fact is that BOTH parties have racist individuals in it.
Seems like it’s the republicans that have the white nationalists on their side now
democRATs have just switched their disgusting racist ways from blacks to whites. Now they have normalized and legalized racism against whites

This is a true story but twisted. Before the Civil Rights Act was signed, the Democratic Party were called DIXIEcrats and once President Johnson signed the Civil
Rights Act, the Dixiecrats were so upset that they fled the party and took over the TODAYS Republican Party. This history lesson is to actually TRICK you all into NOT voting for the party that is actually PROTECTING the progress we've made, NOT roll it back. Do your research and STOP listening to these Historians on the web because they have an agenda. The GOP of TODAY are the Dixiecrats from PRE Civil Rights. I am sure this will be erased because this argument comes up every election cycle to trick us into voting for the very people who are overturning all of our rights UNLESS You are a WHITE ANGLO SAXON PROTESTANT MALE. Look at what the policies are of a political party NOT the person running for the office. The problem with Black people is we are always wanting someone else to care for us and that will NEVER Happen but vote for the party who does NOT want to see you dead or back in slavery. And dont fall for that turning groups of people against the gay folk because that is divide and conquer.
@@FORGOTTENHISTORYCHANNEL ...I always thought the two primary people for the creation of the KKK were Albert Pike and Nathan Bedford Forrest in Tennessee in 1866, with Forrest becoming the 1rst Impireal Wizard. As powerful as Pike was, I don't think much happens without his OK. Furthermore, I believe in 1881 James Garfield was murdered because he was already appointing blacks to his cabinet, and the Democrats had to keep the races divided for their ultimate plan to work. And it's working like a charm today, as if you don't believe the Socialist method, you are a racist who deserves to die.
In 1909, Funded by Keon& Loeb Bank and it's Chairman Jacob Schiff the NAACP was formed by wealthy white bankers and industrialist's who were Democrats and Socialist's. The same ilk that founded the KKK. By controlling both groups, they could more easily keep the races divided. Note...The Schiff's and Rothschilds lived side by side in a duplex in Frankfort in the mid 1700 when they were first starting their banking dynasty. Thus making Schiff their primary operative in America. If you were to look under Rothschild in the Jewish Encyclopedia under Rothschild it will state....Keepers of the Vatican treasures, as they were nothing more than another red herring to blame to keep the focus off the Vatican. They were officially given control of all monies of the international Catholic Church in 1823, but were mere employees of the Vatican. Now back to the NAACP. The only black that was in the NAACP was WEB Dubois, who the made the editor of their news letter in order to put a black face on the NAACP. There wasn't a black president of the NAACP until the 1970's. Dubois was an avowed Socialist, who towards the end of his life became a full fledged Communist and gave up his citizenship and moved to Ghana, Africa and spent the remainder of his life helping to write the Encyclopedia Africana. Dubois and his cohorts were responsible for the murder of Booker T Washington at what was called a Boule meeting in Chicago in 1915, as Washington had a much more positive outlook. He also told lies against another popular black leaded in Marcus Garvey that allowed the government to deport him.
When the Demorat Woodrow Wilson took office in 1913, one of his first actions was to re-segregate the government offices, as by being mostly under the control of Republicans since the Civil War, they had de=segregated them The KKK's biggest boost came when Wilson actually showed the screening o Birth of a Nation in the White House in 1915 and basically made it mandatory for politicians to watch. Harry Truman joined the KKK in Kansa City in 1922, which might help explain the rejuvination of the KKK in the 1950's.
BTW....How much do you know about Jacob Schiff? Would you like to know a little bit? Would you believe it was he, and not Lenin and Trotsky who gave the order to murder Tsar Nicholas II and his family? And ironically he died in 1923, the same year Stalin came to power. Just as they had to get rid of Robbespiere so Napoleon had no rival for power. And BTW....Stalin was not only Catholic, but a Jesuit Priest, the same as the current Pope, who by the way was a bouncer at a night club in his younger days and help lead many Socialist revolutions in South America, and has much blood on his hands.
except things are actually worth learning and not propaganda for the state!

A small but interesting detail in the downfall of the second Kkan was the conviction of the leader of the group headquartered in Indiana of rape. He took a young employee of his office on a train trip. (allegedly a business excursion) where he assaulted her. She was young, and horrified by the experience. Believing her life was ruined she swallowed cleaning fluid. This began to eat through her stomach and led to her death, short time later after the grand dragon had calmly dumped her off at her parents’ house. They informed the authorities, and he was arrested, tried and given a long jail sentence. The Klan’s pose as guardians of morality had suffered a death blow.
True, and there were other incidents as well. Thanks for watching.
My great grandfather was a member of the klan in Indiana, NW Indiana to be exact. He was a horrible human being that fled Missouri after beating his first wife to death because she couldn't accept him cheating with a 15 year old girl. He left with his son, mistress, and unborn child. The whole family down to my father were all horrible people
@@hellhound1389 whatever wrongs our ancestors do has nothing to do with us. I hope you are a happier person than your severely troubled forbears. Live long & prosper.
Albert Pike was also a founding member of the KKK. He was pictured in the middle but not mentioned.
@HypatiaK As I recall it was a particularly horrendous rape -- drugged and raped over a few days or something like that. Those sorts of suicide in which a person swallows bleach or a cleaning fluid that eats through the lining of the stomach are, I've been told by ER doctors, particularly painful and disturbing, vomiting quantities of blood and so on.
What happened to that young lady was, unfortunately, nothing compared to the outrages perpetrated against our black brothers and sisters(!) for generations. Any man who harms a woman, especially in service of a sick ideology, is beneath contempt and deserving of the most aggressive punishment. But that's the Klan for you.
And the need to harm women is coming back into fashion with Democrats and their "trans" invasions of private spaces set aside for women. There seems to be no end to the evil those people will do.

I'm a white girl. Born and raised in the South but never knew about racism until I was learning about the Civil War. I grew up seeing people as people; my dad made sure he raised me that way.
My dad is the one who taught me about the KKK when we watched "O' Brother Where Art Thou?" I was 10 and that scene TERRIFIED me.
My dad told me (again I was 10): "these are bad people that are still around today. They don't like black people or anyone who's not white and Christian they will hurt anyone who supports black people and other people with different skin colors. They hide in plain sight unless they're wearing those cloaks and I pray you never come across one of them."
The video presents several falsehoods, first about its origins being linked to Catholic Europe, which is totally false and offensive since the KKK persecuted immigrants and Catholics, and the only accepted faith was Protestantism. In addition, Republicans were also implicated in the KKK, but don't make them a scapegoat because the KKK was just a side effect of American racism, much more widespread than you would like to imagine, so educate yourself with books written by real historians who don't act for political purposes.
All racism pre- 21st century has been ignorance. Humand evolve and think differently then the generation prior. I'm old- is and this current generation is the LEAST racist generation in American history. That didn't stop Democrats from stirring the hate.
There is NO EXCUSE for racism today. We are not ignorant. Anyone who is racist today (regardless of skin color) had to go BACK 200 years, get angry, and develop hate. All for a few political votes.

When I was in high school from 1965-1969, my white high school was being integrated. The N.A.A.C.P. ensured that only top black students were the first to intergrade white schools. I walked into my French class with other white students to be surprised by a black French teacher. We were even more surprised to see a black boy student take his place. But tension swept though the classroom when the daughter of the Georgia Grand Dragon walked in. We white students feared an explosion with a black teacher, a new black student (top student) and the daughter of the Grand Dragon. The Grand Dragon was frequently on the news as the KKK was displaying amazing glory, especially as Governor George Maddox was the governor of Georgia. No explosions happened. All students and the teacher were respectful. The black student scored the highest grades (justifiably) and the daughter of the Grand Dragon was second in performance in that French class.
I can imagine the tension. Glad things remained civilized.

My late grandfather and his brothers were Klan members in the 1920s, here in deep Southern Illinois. The Klan seems to have had different characteristics even from county to county. In Du Quoin, a town of only a few thousand people, the Klan acted as a sort of vigilante group, something badly needed as that was a very violent era here, and well beyond the capacity of what little police presence we had. I recall my grandfather saying that they particularly dealt with wife-beaters and tavern brawlers. He and his brothers dropped out of the Klan sometime in the 30’s.
Yes, there was no cohesive "Klan" such as you would expect, and each state differed in their methods, just as different counties and even towns had various methods and claimed affiliations.

The conclusion of the video is remarkable in its bias and innuendo. His closing remark, albeit superficially accurate, pegs the origins of this horrible group on the Dems AS IF that means something other than the showing the deep racist history of our country.
It is a fact that the Democratic Party was the party of the KKK ("was" being the operative word). However, the modern day versions of the Dem and GOP parties have basically flipped positions with respect to many issues, perhaps most notably, race relations.
How else would you account for the passage of the Dem-led Civil Rights Laws of the 1960's? Or any of the progressive legislation in recent decades? These would antithetical to KKK values.
Current day Dems are not the Dems of the 19th and early 20th century -- and today's Grand Ole Party is no longer the party of Lincoln. That is the real memory hole that needs filling.

When they get rid of you, you will be on your knees begging for your life. When they get rid of me, I’ll be on my feet fighting them in the hope my kids and friends might not have to live under Democrat oppression.
